Thanks Alex! I like it, but I’d probably like it more in red or yellow. I understand why they toned it down thought, and they are selling bucket loads of them as a consequence. Cheers, Jody

Thanks to Andrew at Watch Direct for giving me this review unit. It makes a fairly strong case for itself if you are looking for a Japanese big brand daily, but the dial is not on par with Seiko. In fact, it might take some time for Citizen to catch up, but I am going to enjoy watching them try. Cheers, Jody

Future classic? Current classic? Sent to us by aliens? I don’t care, this thing is great. So much detail, so much effort, so much love, for really not so much money when you think about it. The looks are not goign to appeal to everyone, but they clearly appeal to me. Cheers, Jody

Well, the cheapest ‘decent’ automatic GMT at least. If you have found a cheaper NH34 powered watch, leave me a link. A Top 10 seems inevitable. This one is by no means perfect, but most of its foibles are forgiveable considering the modest price tag. Now to find a 21mm perlon….. Cheers, Jody

I LOVE the Pelagos 39. Shame about the price tag! Today I compare and contrast the original to a couple of lookalikes. One gets close, the other doesn’t seem to want to get close. Thanks to Mr P, Gary, and Seestern. Cheers, Jody

There are many great all rouders that can be worn as a daily wear watch. For well under $200 on sale, this San Martin makes a decent case for itself. Good size, comfortable, well made ane well finished, great lume and a known quantity for a movement. Maybe some brighter colours next time, a bigger clasp, and put some effort into the caseback! Cheers, Jody

Definitely busier than the Type A I bought last year, but just as good in its own way. Such a capable all rounder thanks to the combination of proper water resistance, date, lume, and Seiko VK power. I am keeping both, but it’ll probably cost me money in more silicone! Cheers, Jody

My first Baltic in aaaaaaages, and very nice it is too. Definitely not a spec monster. It pretty much recreates the look and the feel of a vintage piece. If that does not appeal then look elsewhere, but if you love vintage then chances are you’ll love this. Cheers, Jody
